5 reasons to buy the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
1. Multiple driving modes
The 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport’s Terrain Response® system enables you to select the driving mode that suits the terrain in front of you — whether snow, sand, or rocks. Specially equipped models with the Terrain Response 2® option will dynamically self-select the mode that will get you through changing road conditions. This makes it incredibly practical for all-weather driving, as well as off-road adventures.
2. Capable towing capacity
As a driver of a sporty SUV like this powerhouse, you may be looking to pull a boat or trailer along on at least some of your adventures. All 2015 Range Rover trim levels come standard with a towing preparation kit, trailer stability control, and an estimated towing capacity of over 7,700 pounds when properly equipped.
3. Optional third-row seating
It's your turn to chauffeur coworkers, your children, or the family dog around town. In that case, the 2015 Range Rover Sport offers comfortable fold-away third-row seating and temperature controls to accommodate more passengers. This means your next road trip can accommodate your whole crew. If the ability to seat seven appeals to you, keep an eye out for models with this available feature.
4. Several driver assistance features
Driving in the kind of conditions the 2015 Range Rover Sport excels in can require extra sets of eyes. The 2015 model lineup offers an optional Drive Option package with lane departure and forward collision warning with traffic sign recognition for limiting speed. The optional park assist package helps with parallel parking, perpendicular parking, and 360° parking distance control to mitigate low-speed collisions. No matter how often you like to drive, these cameras and sensors are just there to give you confidence and peace of mind.
5. Versatility and performance
The Range Rover Sport is surprisingly nimble around the corners for a vehicle of its size. Its aluminum body is about 400 pounds lighter than its predecessor, and its eight-speed automatic transmission offers dynamic driving on and off the road. Each of this SUV’s five trim levels — SE, HSE, Supercharged, Autobiography, and SVR — include four-corner air suspension for a comfortable ride on rough terrain.
